I was never too much for expressions, but through the words of my daughters, I choose to tell my truth.
I grew up with the love for all creatures, the beauty of adventure, and the honor of nature’s gifts. Alongside my three brave sisters, Margo, Jody, and Donna, I inherited my passion for the outdoors.
With my young love, we created two daughters, Kim and Kelly, who loved me unconditionally, despite the pain I caused with my depression and addiction through the years. I also had four compassionate grandchildren, who never got to know me the way a grandchild should. I loved my girls and made sure to always remind everyone, but them, of how much they meant to me. I regret not having the tools to fully express to them how I felt. Fishing and falconry became my refuge and a place I could feel free.
Most people I loved felt it. It’s proofed by years of personal cards and heart felt letters that I chose to save neatly in a cardboard box through my life moves and relocations. I saved photos of many beautiful images that I could see only through my lens, especially cherished pictures of my mother, Joan, who always led with her heart.
There were many people who saw the light and love in me, and tried tirelessly to lift me and my heavy-burdened soul. I had a dear friend, Steve Hall, who I allowed into both my lighter and darker days, who never judged me and saw me for who I truly was.
In the end, my daughters were left heartbroken and chose to remember me with love, as they lost a gentle and kind soul who was often very misunderstood. And as my soul was set free, I gave a final gift of love to them - a precious brother they never knew, “Kai”. My girls are filled with an everlasting warmth in a beautiful brother and the hope of new beginnings.
The biggest change I would have made in my life was to show the people that I love how much I truly cared for them.
Know now that when you see a perched red-tailed hawk or the sparkle on the Perkiomen Creek, that you should never wait to show up for the people in your heart.
You are loved.
